Opis:

With breathtaking views over Jost van Dyke and the surrounding islands, Alta Vista is comprised of two separate buildings with 5572 square feet of covered space and 1810 square feet of uncovered tiled areas. Located at an altitude of 800 feet, in Shannon Estates, this secluded custom home is set on 0.918 acres of lush tropical landscaping. Barefoot living is possible with the foot friendly surfaces that surround and connect all buildings. This thoughtfully designed home captures the tropical breezes and maximizes the stunning views over the Caribbean Sea. Entertaining easily flows from the indoors to the expansive terraces surrounding each building. Featuring vaulted ceilings and open design, this home includes top end stainless steel appliances, Italian granite counter tops and custom cherry cabinets. Complete privacy is assured allowing one to peacefully relax in the jetted infinity pool. Meticulously maintained, Alta Vista is furnished and "move in" ready. The main house vaulted tongue and groove ceiling soars to nearly 21 feet. The covered wrap around verandah and interior great room combine for a total of 3150 square feet. The open design floor plan includes living and dining areas, kitchen and bar areas along with a walk in pantry and powder room. Custom made double waterfall edge Italian "Paradiso" granite slab countertops grace the kitchen and bar counters as well as the powder room. Custom cherry cabinets provide expansive storage in this spacious kitchen and bar. Stainless steel appliances by European top end manufacturers give this home a polished look. Both the kitchen and bar have Sub Zero refrigerators. Energy efficient Miele convection oven and a super quiet dishwasher make for easy entertaining. Both ends of the BTU spectrum are featured in the 5 burner St George propane cook top with its full power wok burner to the simmer burner for delicate sauces. A restaurant quality cappuccino machine is plumbed into the bar. This great room space stays cool and comfortable because it is open on all sides to tropical breezes through screened custom designed powder coated steel doors and windows. Throughout the house ceiling fans are strategically placed in the unlikely event they are needed. Tiled areas surround the house on all sides providing a barbeque area next to the kitchen. Unloading groceries from the car could not be easier as the covered car port is directly outside the kitchen door. Both form and function were taken into consideration with this thoughtful design. Music from the Bose sound system is wired to speakers both inside the great room and the outside main floor verandah. A satellite dish with dual antennae provides excellent reception for your satellite programming. Separated from the main house by a hillside garden, the 930 square foot master bedroom house maintains complete privacy and has its own 513 square foot covered verandah. Entering the master house through the lounge, one can see that the vaulted ceilings and open plan continues. Adjoining the sitting area is a king bedroom with a custom designed 4 poster oak king bed. A double sink vanity in Italian "Paradiso" granite and cherry custom cherry cabinets are featured in the ensuite. A sand blasted privacy glass partition secludes the toilet. Kohler fixtures and faucets are used in the ensuite. An oversized indoor shower is tiled in matching Italian "Paradiso" granite tiles and has a European showerhead by Hansa. One steps outside into complete privacy where the outdoor shower is surrounded by colorful flower gardens and massive boulders. The Queenslander shower head completes the sensation of showering in the rain. Adjoining the master ensuite are the walk through closet, laundry and sewing room. The conveniently located laundry room is outfitted with an energy efficient European washer and dryer by Miele. Countertops in the laundry room are tiled with the same Italian granite and offer lots of storage in oak cabinets in a cherry stain. With over 1400 square feet of covered space, the master bedroom house provides an option for an additional third bedroom. Between the 2 houses the pathway leads down to the guest quarters which open onto the pool deck. Your guests will rest in a custom made queen sized 4 poster oak bed. The open concept ensuite features an Italian "Paradiso" granite slab vanity and cherry custom cabinets. The closets offer ample storage for luggage and holiday clothing. The guest suite and its covered deck total 440 square feet. Stepping outside the guest room, a gorgeous 30 by 15 foot infinity edge pool is tiled with turquoise blue glass tiles and surrounded by an expansive deck. You will spend more time enjoying your pool while the Autopilot automatically chlorinates the water. The pool's seating ledge is fitted with jets providing a relaxing way to unwind at the end of the day. The pool has been plumbed for future solar water heating. Whether entertaining indoors or on the verandahs, a supply of wines and champagnes will be needed. The walk-in climate controlled wine cellar stores approximately 1200 bottles. Selecting wines for storage or weekly consumption will be a pleasant pastime. A workshop provides ample space for the home handy man. Fitted with plumbing and electrical supply, this workshop is fully functional. Ample storage and work bench area will keep any home project organized. Rock walls and terraces complement the natural boulders and tropical landscaping. Fruit trees, flowers, and herbs have been selected for both beauty and ease of care. Pathway and garden lighting provide a romantic mood at night. The lot is nearly an acre in size and has ample room for further development plans. Surrounded by all this beauty it is hard to believe that what you cannot see is equally as important. Three connecting cisterns provide 45,000 gallons of water storage. Sudden tropical rains are no match for the superior drainage and waterproofing incorporated throughout the house design. An ultraviolet water purifier and 5 micron water filter ensure excellent quality drinking water and plenty of water for gardening. A 20 kW back-up Cummins Onan generator with automatic transfer switch supplies the house with a reliable electrical supply during power outages. This is complemented by a surge protector for the whole house and brown out protectors for cooling units. Hurricane standards were exceeded in the architectural design and construction. The roof has been tied directly to the foundation with stainless steel cables hidden inside the concrete filled fiberglass pillars. Easy closing hurricane shutters allow you to quickly secure the house and wait comfortably inside until the storm passes. With an eye for ease of maintenance, all decks are tiled. Concrete balusters and balustrades along with fiberglass pillars free you to enjoy your verandah instead of spending time maintaining it. Detailed architectural plans and construction photos are available for reference. The intelligent design and infrastructure will give you security and peace of mind allowing you to truly enjoy your own piece of paradise in the sun.
